Dollhouse: Season 2 Photos

Tv Season Info

"Dollhouse" just barely received a second-season renewal following some pretty dismal ratings, and creator Joss Whedon decided to use that extra time to depict how the corporation behind the titular organization was planning to silently take over the world—and how that attempt eventually led to a nightmarish future in which most of humanity has their minds scrambled. Echo (Eliza Dushku) continues to delve deeper into the conspiracy, while doing her best to hold onto her personality as her memories are wiped by the Dollhouse's technology. At the same time, Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) adjusts to his new role as Echo's handler, Dr. Claire Saunders (Amy Acker) confronts an existential crisis and Adelle DeWitt (Olivia Williams) makes a power play against her employers.
